I just started doing intermittent fasting and it is the dream. As long as you can last the morning without eating you can eat virtually whatever you want. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to stay in shape.

Also, I was so confused when the yahoo page showed up in the thread. I thought my computer was glitching and my yahoo tab had somehow combined with the tls one, so I stared at the screen for like 20 seconds waiting for it to sort itself out before I realized what was going on.

Please don't judge me for that if we end up as classmates next year...

Wannabe, why the disagreement?

Well, I think weight loss is different for everyone in that some programs are a better fit for who you are. I know a lot of people gain weight really fast by not eating breakfast, eating a small lunch, but then at the end of the day they end up binging. What's worked for me is eating 6 smaller meals of a few hundred calories each every 3 hours and some carb cycling when I can. But it might not be for everyone...

I agree it can be very different for two people. When I say I eat whatever I want, I should clarify that it is always within moderation. Most of my meals consist of fruit, vegetables and meat, but if I feel like eating a bunch of carbs post workout one day, I can. Sometimes I go to get a burger and fries and its ok because I am within my calories for the day and whatnot. It definitely still takes self control and is not necessarily for everyone. I just brought it up because someone mentioned a bunch of other diet fads, which I think are not necessarily the best for long term health improvement, so I thought I would toss my approach out there.

That's what I do. I get asked, "How do you eat all day and stay fit?" ... It's because I eat all day that I can stay fit.

It was easier to stay fit running 20 miles a week, but ever since I got a foot injury, it's been a lot harder, even with an intake reduction. So I got this and it's the best thing ever.

The person I bought this off on Craigslist wrote six chapters for her PhD dissertation on this. Pretty solid investment for law school I say I played a round of Civilization V and cycled for 3 hours easily.

I've had a bunch of really crazy ethnic foods this weekend, and I just have a feeling that STL is exactly the kind of place to have a bunch of awesome hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

If there's no decent Indian restaurants I will be depressed. A man needs his Chicken Tikka Masala!

Also, been lurking on other threads cuz i'm bored. It breaks my heart when I see someone ITT expressing love for another school. You know who you are. Those people will be receiving PMs from me on a regular basis beginning in March.
